Stop the Traffik

To inaugurate this blog, I’d like to present you one of my video items.  I found it on Vod:Pod.  For more video’s check the side bar.

If you are in Canada and would like to help, contact your Member of Parliment and ask them to to support Bill-C-22 and see it be reinstated at its previous position before Parliament was prorogued this past month.

You can also sign the online petition found here: Online petition – Minimum Age of Consent for Sex with Adults

People trafficking is one of the worlds fastest growing illegal industries. It is happening right here, right now, on your doorstep. It is devastating the lives of millions of men, women and children each year.

With YOUR help STOP THE TRAFFIK will create awareness and understanding of this worldwide problem and call for change.

Together WE will:

• Prevent the sale of people
• Prosecute the traffickers
• Protect the victims

Bill C-22 Media Clippings

Officially the first clipping I’ve included was written prior to Bill C-22’s tabling. I include it to illustrate how long this matter has been before the public, special committees, and parliament. ACT highlights a number of legitimate concerns that need to be addressed in order to prepare an inclusive, non harmful adjustment to the current laws.
